• Pick Your Funeral Home Early: One of the first things you should do is choose the funeral home you’d like to work with. It’s often best to choose a local institution like Adzima Funeral Home.

• Understand The Laws: Every state has different laws about how to handle the body. Depending on the type of funeral you intend to have, you may even need to have your loved one transported at a particular time. Make sure you research your state’s laws so you know exactly what’s expected of you. If you need help, Adzima Funeral Home will be happy to assist you.
• Decide What Type Of Service To Have: Is your loved one being cremated? Buried? Are you having a wake? These things are important and will need to be decided on quickly. There is paperwork involved as well. Knowing what your loved one wanted will save you a lot of time and heartache.
